Abstract
The present disclosure provides, in part, a solvent compound for use as a slow evaporating replacement. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to volatile organic components (VOC)-exempt solvent compounds that may be used as a slow evaporating replacement that may, for example, be useful as a component or diluent in the production of paints and coatings, and other industrial products.
Claims21
A method of reducing an amount of volatile organic components in a composition, the method comprising:
- replacing at least a portion of a slow evaporating solvent in the composition with a compound of Formula (I):
- wherein R1 and R2 are independently:
- C1-12 alkyl, C2-12 alkenyl, C2-12 alkynyl, C6-14 aryl or siloxy, each of which are independently optionally substituted.
A method of forming a coating on a substrate, by incorporating a compound of Formula (I):
- wherein R1 and R2 are independently:
- C1-12 alkyl, C2-12 alkenyl, C2-12 alkynyl, C6-14 aryl or siloxy, each of which are independently optionally substituted, into a paint.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
